GMA Network, the Philippines’ leading media company, takes another step in expanding its global footprint through a new maritime distribution partnership with Maritime Mobile Communications. This latest collaboration, through which the Network’s flagship international channel GMA Pinoy TV, “The Heart of Global Pinoys,” will reach more Filipinos at sea, underscores its commitment in bringing more Filipino content through technology-driven solutions worldwide.
The partnership ensures reliable access to GMA Pinoy TV through advancements in satellite and IP connectivity, bringing beloved Kapuso programs along major international maritime routes and also in remote offshore locations. Filipino seafarers can enjoy the latest episodes of favorite programs and also trusted news and updates, keeping them connected to home while onboard sea vessels.
“Following our recent expansion into maritime distribution, this new partnership allows us to reach even more Filipino seafarers across different vessels and routes,” says GMA Network First Vice President and Head of International Operations Joseph T. Francia. “We know that life at sea can be isolating, and even the simplest connection to home can make a meaningful difference. By bringing GMA Pinoy TV onboard, we hope to offer not just news and entertainment but also a sense of comfort, familiarity, and shared Filipino experiences wherever their journey takes them. This is how we continue to live out our commitment to being ‘The Heart of Global Pinoys,” steadily and purposefully reaching our kababayan, even in the most distant waters.”
Beginning this August GMA Pinoy TV brings seafarers closer to home through a diverse array of programs that inform, inspire, and entertain: the Network’s award-winning flagship newscast “24 Oras,” the must-watch game show “Family Feud Philippines,” the long-running comedy program “Bubble Gang,” heartwarming real-life stories in “Magpakailanman,” touching narratives in “Tadhana,” and the beloved magazine program “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.”
The latest collaboration of GMA Network with Maritime Mobile Communications is a testament to the Network’s commitment to serving and providing further platforms for Filipino seafarers and more Filipino communities across the globe, bridging the distance between home and navigating life at sea.
